Flash Variables live office pass dates issue

Hi Experts,
We are on Dashboard 4.1 SP3 and BI 4.1 SP3.
This is continue of thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3572623.
The dashboard have a very strange behaviour.
I have one Dashboard with 2 calendars: start date and end date
the other one: will accept these two dates, and according showing graphs.
The issue I have now is:
The two dates can be passed to the second dashboard, e.g. start date: 01/01/2014, end date: 20/04/2014. I have two text lables. they are showed the passed date. but the graphs or live office just accepts two months data. e.g. start 01/01/2014 - 28/02/2014. No matter what Date ranges I gave, the second dashboard just accept the start Date till start date+2months. e.g. give dates range 01/03/2014 - 30/05/2014, second dashboard show 01/03/2014 - 30/04/2014.
if i changed liveOffice dates range parameters to 4 month, then the dashboard also can expands to 4 month.
I'm not sure why it is happening like that.
Child Dashboard LiveOffice parameters
Child Dashboard FlashVariable
Child LO connection
Parent Dates Passing config
Could anyone please help.
Thanks,

Hi Abhilasha,
Thanks very much for quick reply, I tried to increase mapping range, but it's till not working.
Is there any known bug regarding this issue. as when I increased LO input parameters range from 2 months to 4 months, then the dashboard also will increased, and display till 4 months data.
Many Thanks,

Live office based dashboard - issue in Exporting to PPT

Hello All,
We're currently developing dashboards on sap bw queries.
The architecture is SAP BW Query->WEBI 4.0 -> LIve OFfice->Dashboard
Everything is working as expected and we're able to execute dashboards on Infoview.
But, there seems to be some issue when we try to export the dashboard to power point.
We get a strange message "Error #2060".
When we export to pdf , it works as expected.
We have implemented all steps required to make the file/folder Trusted :
<To make a file trusted in Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager
If you want to run a model locally, you must add the file location to the trusted locations in the Adobe
Flash Player Settings Manager.
1. To open the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager, go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/doc
umentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html.
2. On the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager page, in the "Table of Contents", click Global Security
Panel Settings.
3. Select the Always Allow option.
4. In the Always trust files in these locations list, select Edit locations > Add location.
5. Browse to the location of the SWF file (or container file such as PowerPoint, HTML, and so on) and
click Open.
6. Click Confirm.>
Aslo , we have updated the crossdomain.xml file in the root folder ,the new crossdomain.xml file is as below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
"http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd ">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="" headers="" secure="false" />
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>
We are successfully able to execute dashboards when exported to PDF files,
but when we try the same with word or powerpoint it throws error #2060.
Any pointers with respect to this is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinay

Hello all,
We were able to resolve the issue by adding the Office folder ( in program files)
in the trusted files/folder path of adobe global security panel settings.
Thanks and regards,

Flash Player is Out of Date - issue

When ever I use Google or Facebook or YouTube I am getting the message of "Your Flash Player is Out of Date". I also checked on internet & with that I could find out some way that I needed to check in Library --> Service--> in that i need to have file "xprotect.met.plist" but this is missing.
My OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks
Please help me ASAP.

Flash variables will not pass on enterFrame

I currently have the following code setup to pass variables to a flash when a button is clicked:
on click
     flashSprite = sprite("videoplayer")
     rootRef = flashSprite.getVariable("root1", false)
     rootRef.setUpDoc(the moviePath&"xml"&dirPath&currentMovie&"_nav.xml", the moviePath&"xml"&dirPath&currentMovie&".xml", the moviePath&"Src"&dirPath&currentMovie&".f4v")
end
The code works perfectly when called with "on click" but if I take this code and put it in the behavior frame and change "on click" to "on enterFrame" it give me the error:
"Script error: Variable used before assigned a value
rootRef.setUpDoc(the moviePath&"xml"&dirPath&currentMovie&"_nav.xml", the moviePath&"xml"&dirPath&currentMovie&".xml",
the moviePath&"Src"&dirPath&currentMovie&".f4v")"
Why does it work with "on click" but on with "on enterFrame"?
Can anyone help me with this?

This problem is probably related to the issue of Flash sprites not being fully instantiated on beginSprite. Delaying running your code should fix the problem. Something like the following untested code may work.
on beginSprite me
tmp = timeout().new("DelaySetupDoc", 1, #DelaySetupDoc, me)
end beginSprite
on DelaySetupDoc me, timeob
flashSprite = sprite("videoplayer")
rootRef = flashSprite.getVariable("root1", false)
rootRef.setUpDoc(the moviePath&"xml"&dirPath&currentMovie&"_nav.xml", the moviePath&"xml"&dirPath&currentMovie&".xml", the moviePath&"Src"&dirPath&currentMovie&".f4v")
end DelaySetupDoc

How to configure Live Office Data with no Logon Prompt

Hi,
I am using Xcelsius with Live Office. Everything appears fine except that when I attempt to preview the dashboard using the Xclesius preview button I am being prompted with a logon screen. For my clients this will not be an acceptable solution and I need to find a way to create this dashboard without having a logon prompt appear.
I have done some research and it appears that using Flash Vars with a CelogonToken variable is the way to go. This is fine except that this solution requires that I either use the Variable to open a child swf or I have to embed the report in a .Net application and pass the value for the Flash Var using some c# or VB.net coding.
Ideally, I am looking for a way to pre set this password so that users can go straight to Infoview and view the dashboard.
I guess what I am really after is functionality similar to using a Web Service Connector which enalbes developers to fill in the password value as a part of the object and be done with it.
Does any one have any idea as to how this can be accomplished?
Thanks,
Ty

I want to set up a 'Guest' accountFine, but I recommend you use a different name, e.g. "visitor", not "guest".
If, under "Parental Controls" you select "Finder & System", then click "Configure", you can select "This user can only use these applications:" which gives you all the control you need. However, you may also need to check "Allow supporting programs" for some choices.

Dashboards with Webi Live office Objects issues

Hi All,
I have created a dashboard (Dashboards 4.1 SP4) connecting to webi crosstab tables which in turn sources data from Bex queries (version of SAP BW 7.1 SP5) . Initially I published the crosstab data as BI web Services and consumed these as query as web service within the Dashboards. But datasets have variable columns and changes on data refresh everyday. Therefore, I decided to use Live office connections to automate the dashboard.
As number of posts suggested, firstly, I created Live office connections for the webi queries to pull the data into excel model spreadsheet. I have created 26 live office connections in total and everything works fine until this step. Re-opening the excel document refreshes the live office connections. When I import the same excel spreadsheet into the dashboard, the import operation is running forever and then Dashboards stops responding. I would have to close the Dashboard using task manager.
To test, I tried creating the live office objects within the dashboard spreadsheet and it creates the connections fine. I do not create the live office connections through Data -->Connections--> Live office connections. I go ahead and publish the dashboard onto the portal and it gets published successfully. If I re-open the dashboard, the connections I created would have disappeared.
Also,when I create the live office connections on the dashboards Data -->Connections tab and try to publish the dashboard, it publishes forever. The generating swf window was running until I came the next morning which means that it does not publish to the BO portal. I am not sure what else I could try to get this working.
I have created OLAP connections to the Bex cubes and created webi reports using these connections. I am not sure if OLAP connections would be a problem. To test it, I created relational Universe using UDT tool and created a webi report on top of it to test and tried importing the excel with live office connection to dashboards, but it gets stuck forever.
Could anyone advise me on any of the missing steps or something else to try to get this working?
Thanks.
Regards,
Rohini.

Hi Preetesh,
The excel takes less than a minute to refresh all the datasets when refreshed from outside dashboards. I also do not think this is a performance issue.
Today I tried importing the excel with live office connections on a different desktop with Dashboards 4.1 SP5 and it got imported instantly. The machine I was trying had Dashboards 4.0 SP6 base version and was updated with 4.1 SP4. I suspected the install might be corrupted and re-installed Dashboards 4.1 SP4 after uninstalling all the versions. The excel got imported instantly and I could see all the Live office connections and got refreshed on document open as well. I saved it to the BO platform without setting up Live Office connections through Data Manager and it got published successfully.
I closed the Dashboard and re-opened it later and setup the Live Office connections and tried publishing on the BO Portal, its running forever with Generating Swf window. Not sure what is going wrong. In the task manager, I do see two excel processes running which I think is one of dashboard and one of Live office.
Thanks,
Rohini.

Live Office Error when connecting to SAP BW data (Offline dashboard)

Hi experts,
we have built up an Live Office connection to SAP BW query data to create a dashboards, which can show the data also in offlne mode. We are using exactly the same procedure as recommanded by Ingo Hilgofort in [End-to-End Scenarios With Xcelsius 2008|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/90ad73b1-506c-2b10-9e9b-9fde523f010a].
When trying to refresh the Live Office connection using the "Refresh" button in the dashboard we receive the error LO 26301: The current refresh option requires a report instance that does not exist.
The recommended action is: Change the refresh option of the object or use the CMC to schedule a new instance.
But creating an instance of the dashboard is not possible. What is meant by that? Is it necessary that we embed the Xcelsius flash into a PDF or a Crystal Report? What are our alternatives?
Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi Gowda Timma Ramu,

Error due to Passing value in Live Office prompt

Hi All,
I have a webi report that is inserted in excel using live office. Connection is set to refresh on demand and the prompts are fed by linking cells in excel.
When a value example "James, Carter" is passed to the prompt i get the "Failed to fetch data provider data (LO26306)" error. I am sure it is happening only when there is a comma in between the text, if there is no comma then it is fine. If i pass the value in webi report it works fine(With or without the comma) it is happening only with live office. Is there any solution for this?
Thanks
J

I have tried the option of replacing the comma with %2C but it dint work.
The value i am passing to a live office prompt consists of a comma and hence i am getting this error. If i have plain words. Also when i passed (AB) that is brackets i am getting the exact result. I do have these different scenarios in my data.
Can anyone help.

Pass flash variables to server - the best way?

I am using URLVariables at the moment to pass flash variables to the server via php script and update a database rows.
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
At the moment around 9 variables are sent which are then updated in the mysql db.
I have read that calls to the database via php are the main source of traffic or at least one of them. I am talking about 100 - 500 concurrent users.
Obvously I am going to need expert help medium term but I would like to give things a go myself.
I have read about amfPHP but I don't seem to understand it too well.
Also, I can cut down the amount of php calls per user as I have them all over the place for lots of games and mini exercises.
BUT is it possible to get those nine variables into an object and pass the object. Would one object be faster than passing 9 variables and would that object be placed into one cell of the mysql databse.
What would that look like? At the moment I can read my db easily but if there is an object in there, how do you read that?
Is that what serializning is? Passing an object and all the data is converted to binary etc...
As you see I'm a little lost.
Thanks in advance.

Just my two cents.
URLVariables is one of the ways to construct url query. There is no difference in doing it either way (second way is faster):
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/page.html");
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.var0 = 3;
variables.var1 = "blah";
request.data = variables;
sendToURL(request);
OR JUST
sendToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/page.html?var0=3&var1=blah"));
I guess object serialization will be less efficient because, I suspect, it will be a larger string and it is much more processor intensive of both Flash and server side.
I also suspect that http servers have a very efficient way to parse and process requests and variables that come with it - after all this is server's first and the most important duty.
My point is that I don't believe there is anything better than sending data with query string unless there is a need for obfuscation.
As a proof - the fact that large volume and frequent updates sites like advertising servers never use anything but plain old query strings attests to the above points.
As far as DB updates speed goes - it has nothing to do with the means info is sent but rather is a consequence of server and DB performance aspects. It's just a matter of money :-)

Customer Message: 0020079747 - Live Office 3.0: Date values incorrect

In briefu2026 date fields are being altered by 12 hours when imported into Live Office 3.0. Is there a fix for this or a workaround until a fix is generated?

I sat with the user yesterday after posting this and tried to replicate the error.
The Crystal Report is pulling data from an Oracle View which contains 3 elements:
1) Universe "a" which defines the business level security
linked to
2) Oracle view "b" containing all the key fields to display on the report
linked to
3) Oracle view "c" simply and oracle table filled with additional data
we were able to replicate the error if we made any change to the Crystal report and resaved it under the same name to enterprise 'infoview' repository - the report being simply a data dump for the excel pivot table containing the live office add-in. Then we opened Excel>Live Office and clicked 'refresh all objects' and were able to reproduce the error.
If we leave the report as is and change anything in the Oracle view and then go back to live office and refresh we do not get the error. We determined the error is created because whenever the crystal report is changed and resaved "published" to enterprise, the 'database logon' at the folder level in the CMC 'forgets' or drops the password - it automatically depopulates the password field.
To avoid this error all developers must readd the password any time they make a change to an existing report. I suppose my real question then is: Is there any way to avoid this issue? Is there a way to make the CMC remember the database logon password for a report even when it is edited and republished under the same name?
Thanks,
Chris

Data not updated in the excel while using Live office

Hi all,
I have a Trial balance Crystal report in BOE and have created a Live Office document connecting that report. Now I've imported that document to the Xcelsius environment.
In Xcelsius a Filter component having the YTD values as the Labels and its destination is bound to the cell having input to the Crystal report of the Live Office document. Now in the Preview mode when I change the select the year its corresponding data should be displayed in the Chart but unfortunately that's not that case. But when I change the year in Non Preview mode
the data is getting updated.
What could the error ?
Thanks
John

Thanks Senthil, its working!!
But its taking lot of time for the data to get updated in the chart upon changing the year. Is there any way to speed up the process ?
Thanks
John

thats your correct procedure - but NOT CORRECT ISSUE.
You should use bulk collect with limit clause and forall clause to do it faster!!! Or Merge clause.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?
Thanks in advance,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

Passing Flash Variables to ASP

Hello everyone,
New problem, I even read other peoples posts. I am working on
a program that would send a subject to an .asp form, but the
subject line doesn't want to pass.
The code that I have in my flash program in the last frame
is:
mySendVars = new LoadVars();
mySendVars.Subject = "Subject Line";
mySendVars.send("mail.asp", "_self", "POST");
It is to open the mail.asp form, which it does, but alas, no
subject line.
The script that I have to accept the subject line is:
<% @Language = "VBScript" %>
<%
Option explicit
Response.Buffer= true
Response.Expires = -1441
Session("Email")=("[email protected]")
Session("Subject")
%>
<html>
<head>
<title><% Response.Write (Session("Subject"))
%></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="l.css">
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
code to process if the form is filled out properly
<p align="center">You have successfully completed the
<% Response.Write (Session("Subject")) %>Program.
To do the evaluation<a href="otherprogram.asp">click
here</a>.</p>
The evaluation also opens, but there is no subject
line....which isn't a surprise if the subject variable isn't
passing.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you all in advance!

I'm working on a similar problem where the asp script won't
send the email body. What I'm wondering about your problem is
whether the way you specify the subject ("Subject Line") is an
instance name or variable of the text field. The asp script I'm
using utilizes instance names.
So my question is, do you have the subject text field named
properly in your Flash movie?

Is there a way to pass a username/password to Flash Media Live Encoder?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this or not, but I thought I remembered a way to pass a username and password to FMS via Flash Media Live Encoder? I simply need to pass two values, equivalent to this in AS3:
netConnection.connect(url, "username", "password");
My application requires authentication for publishers for security reasons, and for some reason, I can't find the option for doing this in FMLE. Am I missing something?

You cant pass in connect arguments, but what you can do is pass them in as GET vars on the connection url, and then inspect the client.uri property in your server side onconnect handler.
